Kenzo x Vans III - Preview the third instalment of this great collaboration

I've written previously about the fantastic collaborations between Kenzo and Van's, so wanted to give you a little update on this, the third instalment of the design partnership.

A range of AW12 Kenzo prints featuring marble and grape designs, appear on the Vans' Authentic style as well as, for the first time, their classic slip on shoe. 

The dark grape Authetics are the standouts for me, as well as these leopard-feel 80s style royal blue and monochrome shoes pictured below which look like they should have been worn by Ferris Bueller. Very cool.

On sale soon from www.kenzo.com and selected stores including Selfridges, Liberty and Opening Ceremony.

Kenzo x Vans Era Plimsolls - Putting a Euro Spin on the All-American Sneaker

Parisian fashion house Kenzo gives Vans' all-American classic Era shoes a Euro makeover for Summer 2012 with a collaboration that looks very new-90s. Using colours from the French label's SS12 collection, the playful primaries and bold prints lend themselves well to the mainstream skate trainer's design and are perfect for pepping up an outfit - for guys and girls.  The unisex sneakers will have a phased release with different styles dropping in waves from mid May through June and prices start from £80. Get them in the UK from Harvey Nichols, from Opening Ceremony or various other selected international stockists.
